Trump and Pope Leo are very strong Americans. They lead in different ways.

One new leader said, "Fight!". The other new leader said, "Peace.". They had different ideas about the world.

President Trump and Pope Leo XIV are very different people.

Leo is the new Pope. He is from the USA. Now two very important people in the world are from the USA. Some people are worried about this. They think the USA has too much power.

Some people thought the Catholic Church did not choose an American Pope because America was very strong. But last week, a man from Chicago became the new Pope.

David Gibson said many people in the world will think Leo's election is good for them.

Pope Leo is different from other Americans in the world.

People were surprised and happy when the less famous cardinal became the leader. Then they talked a lot about how two Americans could be the top leaders in the world.

Trump likes to be first. American Catholics chose Trump, not Kamala Harris.

Trump shared a picture of himself as a pope. Some people did not like it. Trump said it was a joke.

Trump said he was happy for Leo. He said it was good that the new pope was American.

Pope Leo is like a politician too.

Other popes spoke about world problems too.

Like Trump, Leo talked about the media.

Trump and Pope Leo are leaders, but they have different ideas.

In February, Leo shared an article. The article said: "Jesus wants us to love everyone. We do not need to rank our love."

Before that, Vance talked about people coming to the country on TV. He said Christians love their family first, then people near them, then their town, then their country, and then other people in the world.

Leo spoke Italian in St. Peter’s Square. He said the Church should help people be friends. People should be friendly and open, like the square.

Vance said the church is very old. It is bigger than politics and social media. He said the church helps people.

A man said religion and politics are not the same. He said they have different goals.

Francis and Cardinal Prevost were bishops. They taught about God and helped poor people. That is not Trump's job as president.

Does Pope Leo think like people in America?

Leo lived in Peru for many years. He is from Peru and another country. People who study say this helps him understand people, power, religion, and politics better.

Leo wants to help people who need it most, like poor people.

Leo is the first pope from the U.S. But he is the second pope from the Americas.

The pope talks with people from different countries. He helps people. This is very different from the current government in the U.S.

Some American cardinals say Leo is not very American. He did not become pope because he was from the US. But Trump was important.

Six American church leaders talked about Leo. They said Leo was not very American. They also said Leo would help the church work with the government.

Someone asked the cardinals if they chose Leo because of Trump. They said no.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan said the other cardinals did not think he was against anyone.

The leaders knew about events in the United States. But they wanted a new leader for the church.

Millies said: "Don't be afraid of a pope from the U.S. He is different from other Americans. He is not part of our recent politics. He knows the good things about the U.S."
